Workshop 3: Green and Fair Together — Climate and social goals hand in hand
This event is part of a series of workshops on socially responsible business practice in Denmark’s sustainable construction transition.
About this workshop
How can Denmark’s massive climate investments create quality jobs rather than a race to the bottom? With Denmark’s 70% CO₂ reduction target driving massive retrofit programmes, new green infrastructure, and billions in investment, the construction sector is being reshaped. The question is whether this transformation will advance or compromise the social foundations established through working clauses and responsible business practice.
Key questions
- How can green procurement embed meaningful social criteria alongside environmental requirements?
- How do we ensure new green skills and technologies benefit workers, not just employers?
- What does a successful just transition look like in Danish construction?
- How do EU Taxonomy social minimum safeguards apply in practice?
- How do we connect the working clauses framework from Workshop 1 with green procurement standards?
